Dramatically illuminated at night Harlem Park will
strike a prominent profile on the northern Manhattan
skyline.

Harlem Park is envisioned as the first high-profile landmark to
mark the rebirth of Harlem in the 21st Century. The building, a
layered silhouette of glass and masonry, will mark the gateway to
Harlem at 125th Street and Park Avenue.

The design strategy was to create a memorable and timeless image
that will remain a prominent landmark in Harlem as the neighborhood
continues to grow and change.

The composition of the above-grade construction will appear as
an assemblage of distinct volumes corresponding to the multiple
functions within the complex.

At street level, retail spaces will wrap around the entire site to
activate the street level and encourage pedestrians to turn the
corner onto Park Avenue. Signage will be integrated into the
pedestrian level storefronts and facades to attract activity and
further activate the pedestrian experience.

The roof area of the mid-rise office block will contain
restaurants, spas, and other amenities. The Marriott Courtyard
Hotel will occupy the lower portion of the tower with luxury
residential units above.

Norten would like the tower building to reflect the particular
colors of Harlem, reds, yellows, and greens, by applying a mosaic
of colored louvers behind the curved glass windows.

Harlem Park will act as the connecting node between east and west
Harlem, and establish and reinforce the standards of the 125th
Street corridor as it evolves as the Main Street of the
neighborhood in the years ahead. The Metro North Railroad across
the street, one direct stop from Grand Central Station, connects to
commuter suburbs in New York and Connecticut.
